There are days that, as dinnertime starts to edge closer, I look into my kitchen and the thought of cooking something just makes my whole body tired.

From coming up with the meal (which can be exhausting in itself) to the preparation and cooking process to all of the cleanup that follows, it is no wonder to me that restaurants are so appealing. All I have to do is show up (or have my husband stop by on his way home) and someone else will take care of the entire ordeal? Yes, please!

Considering the popularity of any of these chains, clearly I'm not the only one who thinks that eating out once in a while really isn't all that bad:

So what can make stopping in or driving through your favorite restaurant even better? A coupon, of course! We all like to save money, so why not find the best deal possible on your appetizer, pizza, burger, or sandwich?

However, there will always be the instances when you don't have the time to search online or through a flier or maybe you weren't planning on stopping in but find yourself in the parking lot. The easiest and most convenient way to be sure that you're always going to get a bargain on your tasty meal is to open your wallet and pull out your Discount Restaurant Coupon Card.

For use at participating locations all across the country, a National Advantage Discount Restaurant Coupon Card is a credit card-sized, green way to save money at more than two dozen of your favorite locations.

Sitting down for breakfast at Denny's? Hand your waitress this card and take advantage of the "Buy 1 Entrée at Regular Price, Receive 2nd Entrée 50% Off" to make your eggs and pancakes taste even better. Going out to dinner at Outback Steakhouse? Why not pull out this card and use the "Free Bloomin’ Onion with purchase of 2 Entrees" for a yummy appetizer? For free!

As well as helping the environment by cutting down on paper coupons, The Discount Restaurant Coupon Card has the major benefit of being able to be used again and again. Considering that it doesn't expire until December 31, 2015, that's a whole lot of Bloomin' Onions that you could eat from now until then!

Because many chain restaurants are franchised, it is up to each individual manager if they would like to accept or decline this card. However, as it retails for only $20, if you are able to take advantage of the "Buy One Get One Free" deal at the Papa John's or Domino's near you, this card will have paid for itself after two visits, no problem!

When it comes to eating out, we all love the convenience but the costs can add up quickly. A Discount Restaurant Coupon Card is a simple solution that can save you time and money... and that would most likely make those free cookies from Mrs. Fields taste even better, now wouldn't it?

To find out more or to purchase one of these handy cards, visit DiscountRestaurantCards.com ($20 for one, $30 for two, and special pricing if you would like to buy more. These would make a great fundraising option)! One person will get to find out just how delicious a good deal really can be, because...
